Texas Tech alumni were proud of their name and fought successfullly
against the proposed renaming to "Texas State University"; thus,
the odd variation, Texas Tech University.
One Melbourne tertiary institution started in 1887 as the Working Men's
College. After a couple of name changes and mergers, it became the Royal
Melbourne Institute of Technology in 1960. When I taught there in 1967
(only one subject, as a casual teacher) it was considered to be the most
prestigious technical college in the state.
It is now called RMIT University. On its web site, it is not easy to
discover what RMIT stands for.
